"Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing.

More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust [stewardship]." - Raymond Hitchcock

[Quote No.20823] Need Area: Money > General
"Most people believe that because a man has made a fortune his views on any subject are valuable. I have always believed that most large fortunes are made by men of ordinary ability who tumbled into a lucky opportunity and could not help getting rich, and in most cases, others, given the same chance, would have done far better with it. Hard work and attention to business are necessary, but they rarely result in achieving a large fortune. Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary." - Julius Rosenwald
